40. As you can see, I am very weak
"What exactly does this mean?" Shen Hualan was still a little confused.
Wen Yan did not answer him, but looked at Qiuxia, "Senior, you should understand."
Qiuxia looked into the other party's clear eyes and nodded, her slightly curled ponytails swaying with the movement.
She looked at the chessboard and said to the others, "As stated in the rules of the game, each chess piece has one breath on its front, back, left and right, so there are four breaths in total."
Stretching out her small hand, she pointed at the arrangement on the chessboard, "Look, there are black chess on the left and right of this white chess piece, which means that the white chess pieces in these three directions have run out of breath, and only the bottom part still has breath. "
He reset the white chess that Wen Yan had taken away, and then took it away again, "This should mean 'beat and capture'."
After listening to Qiuxia's explanation, everyone understood instantly. At the same time, they had a new perspective on Wen Yan who knew such complicated rules, and everyone had approval in their eyes.
Wen Yan: Is it really complicated?
She didn't believe that smart interstellar people couldn't do it.
In fact, everyone didn't think it was complicated, it was the first time they saw it, and Wen Yan had moved so fast just now, so they were not sure whether it was what they were thinking.
No one cares, anyway, they just think Wen Yan is strong, they think he is "awesome" and "awesome".
After all, Wen Yan had left a deep impression on all the teachers and students of the Imperial Scout Academy as an "academic master", a "genius" and a "good youngster" just six months after entering school.
Some people really want to end the assessment right now, go to the Interstellar Library to register an account, and then learn new knowledge and new ideas every day, and then become a knowledgeable person like Wen Yan.
On the next floor, except for the four chief students, everyone else took turns to play chess. When they got to the back, they asked Wen Yan for some things they didn't know. Anyway, everyone believed that she understood.
After a while, everyone became more and more skilled and climbed the stairs faster.
In the end, even Shen Hualan felt it was extremely simple.
"This test doesn't seem to be difficult. I won it easily, young master." He is in a very good mood now, with a smile on his face all the time, and his steps are very brisk.
But what Shen Hualan didn't know was that other Scout academies were struggling in dire straits.
Michael looked at the chessboard in the center of the room with great irritation. Although he already understood the rules of this "Chessboard from Another World" game, there were many solutions that he still didn't know how to solve.
What are "Zheng Chi", "Yao Chi", "Double Cry Chi", and "Not breathing", "Receiving but not returning", "Falling down".
He was still a little confused. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he couldn't tell them apart immediately when they were put together on the chessboard.
The most difficult thing to understand is, what exactly are "finalists" and "officials"? Except for the first written explanation, there is no hint given later, so he keeps guessing, but he can't guess right.
His head was really about to explode!
Just collapse!
What is this year’s topic?
Don't tell him, this is all the assessment content between the 200 and 300 floors.
It’s garbage! I can’t play anymore!
At first, Mikkel thought it was very simple. He only asked for one chess piece. Even if he didn't understand it, he could get it into the right position anyway.
After that, it became more and more difficult. After entering the 245th floor, there were more chess pieces on the board, and then there was not just one chess piece.
There are also some traps on the chessboard, and you can be misled if you don't pay attention.
Michael paused for a moment and looked around at the people around him.
The four chief students all stood in a corner motionless, not knowing what they were thinking, while most of the others looked confused.
He groaned in his heart and felt very unhappy. He was asked to climb the stairs every year without even thinking of a solution, just sitting back and enjoying the results.
The Nine-room Scout Academy where Michael is located is the first place in the annual competition, so everyone doesn't care too much. Anyway, in the end, their academy still ranks first.
Mikkel adjusted his mentality and sighed heavily in his mind, thinking that he was only responsible for decrypting the code and did not contribute. Others were responsible for killing the mutant beasts in the past, which was actually not bad.
Then he pressed his aching temple and continued to study the chessboard.
As he continued to play, he seemed to suddenly understand the true meaning of playing chess, and his speed increased.
When he climbed to the 270th floor, Michael stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's time to go."
Last year, their college climbed to the 261st floor, which was more than ten floors higher than the second place, so Michael thought it was OK.
Upon hearing this, most people in the room were ready to leave.
But someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Are you leaving now? Haha, aren't you going to climb a few more floors?"
Michael looked at the speaker, who had a smile on his lips, and a pair of huge mechanical glasses covered half of his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
"Chu Keyu, what do you mean?"
"I think this is quite simple," Chu Keyu said in a slow tone with a full sense of sarcasm, "The recognized top student in the ninth room is not even inferior to me, right?"
Seeing the other person's look of needing a beating, Michael gritted his teeth and said in a not very good tone, "Ha! Some people just stand and talk without pain, but they don't have the ability to do it on their own."
Chu Keyu stopped talking and just looked at Mikkel quietly, seeming to be laughing at him silently.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and no one was willing to give in to anyone.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Haisang stood up, walked to Michael's side, and said in a gentle tone, "Ke'er, don't be angry. Xiaochu just came this semester, so he has a bit of a temper, but he is a good person."
He glanced at both sides and continued, "Why don't you finish it early and go back early? How many more floors can we climb? And I see you are quite relaxed."
After listening to Haisang's words, Mikkel's expression softened somewhat. He glanced at Chu Keyu coldly and walked up a floor while holding back his anger.
Seeing this, everyone else followed, leaving only the four chief students.
"Xiaochu, what's wrong with you? I feel like Ke'er is already working very hard and has climbed very high." Haisang is the third-year chief student of the Nine-room Scout Academy, and Chu Keyu is the first-year chief student.
.
"My intuition tells me that I have to keep climbing up, otherwise I will lose this Dingbo competition."
The other three people in the room all looked serious when they heard this, "Are you serious?"
Everyone knew that Chu Keyu's prophecy ability was very accurate, and they would rather believe it than not. The three of them also understood Chu Keyu's thoughts.
"But don't be so aggressive in your tone. But Er is an impatient person. It would be strange if he doesn't get angry when you say something like this."
Chu Keyu looked at Haisang and shrugged with concern, "Whatever, I like this."
When a few people caught up with the main force again, Mikkel unlocked four more floors. It wasn't that he couldn't get up quickly, but that the chess game behind was really complicated.
The artificial intelligence that plays chess with him has more powerful computing power, and he has to start one more game of chess, or more times.
No one bothered Michael anymore, and at the last second, everyone climbed to the 282nd floor.
At the moment it ended, Michael wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with paper and let out a long sigh of relief.
When they teleported to the hall, there was no one in the entire hall. It seemed that they were the only college that persisted to the end.
Everyone was overjoyed and felt that they must be the first in this building climbing competition. However, Chu Keyu was not happy. There was a solemn expression on his face, but his huge mechanical glasses prevented others from seeing his expression.
After being teleported back to the competition hall, everyone in the Nine Room Academy woke up from the virtual cabin, then walked out of the competition room and joined others outside.
When they came out, students from various major colleges were gathered in the square, and the content of this assessment was being discussed intensely.
Michael listened to the discussion in his ears and said nothing more than words of envy. He would definitely be the best climber in the Ninth Room this year, or he would definitely belong to the Ninth Room in Bosai! Michael is simply my idol!
When he heard this, the anger he felt on the floor disappeared instantly, and instead he had a smile on his face.
When everyone in the ninth room returned to their own college grounds, they only heard wailing sounds coming from the college next to them.
"Oh my God! It's so difficult and terrifying! I was stunned on the first floor!"
"What alien symbols are there, I can't understand them at all!"
“After thinking about it for a long time, we didn’t understand what it meant, so we just kept using ‘free’.”
"Harmful! Song Weiwu, I really want you to see how difficult it is! I guarantee it will make you depressed!"
Who else is speaking if it's not Shen Hualan? He is now telling with deep emotion how he feels after the assessment is over, as disappointed as he can be, and as sad as he can be.
Although the people at the Imperial Scout Academy did not know what the specific results were for climbing the stairs, they were not worried as the four chief students were following along, and they all agreed with Shen Hualan.
Shen Hualan sighed, and everyone sighed; Shen Hualan was sad, and everyone was sad too. Anyway, they have behaved like this over the years, and this will not make people in other colleges suspicious.
Moreover, when they followed Shen Hualan, they felt very comfortable and happy for some reason!
Just waiting for the day when the Dingbo competition ends, the Imperial Scout Academy will slap the other academies in the face.
It is obvious that geniuses abound in the Imperial Capital Scout Academy, everywhere. But every year they are ridiculed and looked down upon.
It's not like I didn't tell people from other colleges that the chief student didn't participate, but they just didn't believe it, and instead humiliated them even more. Many students couldn't swallow this sigh of relief.
Thanks to Mr. Wen for enrolling in the Imperial Scout Academy and for persuading top students from other grades to participate in the Dingbo competition.
Everyone: We love Mr. Wen!
Shen Hualan continued to wail for a few minutes, and then stopped after receiving a look from Wen Yan.
"Hey! Little sister!"
